TECUM8EH, POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY. OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1921.
NUMBER 4fi
OPEN SEPT. 5J
We learn from Superintendent G.
S. Dowell that the public schools will
open on September 5tb. As we ap-
proach the beginning of another
school year it is well that the citizens
consider just what we have in the way
of an educational system.
The first six grades are housed in
a modern two story brick building
with sufficient equipment to insure
comfort, pleasure, and efficient work.
The teachers are all well trained anu
have all had some experience, while
some have taught for many years.
The last six grades, including the jun-
ior and senior high school are housed
in one of the best, most modern and
convenient buildings to be found any-
where. It is fairly well equipped, and
the faculty compares well with the
best high schools and state institu-
tions, both in qualifications and ex-
perience.
Tne standards of the sudent body
botn academically and morally, are
high and are being raised year by
year.
The Board of Education believes
that they have secured one of the best
school men in this section for sup-
erintendent. He was given a free
hand during the past year in the man-
agement of the school system in gen-
eral and his policies have proven so
satisfactory and successful that the
Board has adopted the plan perman-
ently and any suggestion or com-
plaint of any nature whatever should
be made to him, as he has sole power
to act in an official way.
The Tecumseh schools are known
and recognized throughout the state
as one of the best systems to be found
in any small town. We are building
■t * a solid foundation and are train-
' ing citizens of which we are proud,
and it is a significant fact that we
are using nearly all home teachers.
It would be almost impossible to run
the schools here if we had to import
teachers, and we don’t know of any
town that is turning out so many good
teachers as Tecumseh is.
Both school buildings are being re-
paired and will be in good shape by
the time school begins. All the wood
work is being restained, the old desks
revarnished and the blackboards
painted in both buildings, and the high
school is being painted on the out-
side. All this work is being done by
the superintendent and janitors with-
out extra expense to the district for
labor.
ROY ARNALL BURIED

G. C. Amall, a former well-known
resident of this place was here this

who was killed in action in France.
The funeral services were held at

and the body was laid to rest in the
Shawnee Mission Cemetery, full mil-
itary honors being observed in the
services.

Washington, Aug. 16.—Henry Cab-

Foreign Relations Committee, has I
been definitely selected by President
Harding as a member of the Ameri
can delegation to the disarmament
conference.
Formal announcement of Senator
Lodge’s selection was made at the

bei of the delegation to be named
the administration having previously
announced that Secretary Hughes
would be chairman.
Mr. Lodge, who is Republican leader

accepted.
The question of appointment of a
woman member of the American
delegation still is undecided. The
president is said to be in doubt also
whether any Senators besides Senator
Lodge should be appointed.
The meeting place in Washington

Prof, and Mrs. G. S. Dowell have
rented the Rowlett property in the
southeast part of town where they are
at home to their many friends.
Hoarded Money Is Useless
Hoarding has nothing in common
with saving. They are in no
sense synonymous terms.
Saving is the result of thrifty liv-
ing plus a desire to become inde-
pendent and to contribute the full
measure of one’s financial forces
to the community’s business uses.
Hoarding is but the effort of mis-
erly instincts—destroying the na-
tive generosity of the individual
and accomplishing no social good.
Deposits in dependable banks in-
crease the current assets of the
community and, accordingly,
make for its advancement.

In the Matter of the Estate of

NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
To the Creditors of James J. Hogue,
Deceased:
All persons having claims against
James J. Hogue, deceased, are re-
quired to present the «ime with the
necessary vouchers, to the undersign-
ed administratrix at the office of W.

Washington, Aug. 16.—Whisky and
seized from rum run-
ners and now stored in warehouses
in New York and elsewhere over the
country probably will be converted
for industrial uses if they are found
unfit for medical purposes, Secreta-
ry of the Treasury Mellon has indi-
cated.
The whole problem of what to do
with the big stocks of liquor which
in quality includes good, bad and in
different, still is before the Internal
Revenue Bureau, and no definite de-
cision has been reached, but Secre
,tary Mellon's opinion as to what
should be done with the low proof
impure liquors indicates that he
may overrule prohibition officials
who want to destroy such liquors.
Mr. Mellon said that a careful in-
ventory of the warehouses is now be-
ing made, and that until this is finish-
ed he would not know the total value
of the stocks now held. He said in his
opinion an estimate that $5,000,000
worth of liquors are stored in New
.York warehouses was much too high.

Notice is hereby given that the un-

1921, filed his petition in the County

Oklahoma City, Aug. 16.—Value of
all property of the State, outside of
jiublic service corporations, increased
$41,040,804 for 1921 over 1920. Total
^valuation for 1921, outside of public
service corporations, was $1,438,797,-
742. The public service property of
^he State was assessed at $298,040,250
for 1920, and it is estimated that tuis
will be increased at least $10,000,000
for 1921. Valuations of seventy-four
counties, returned to the Board of Eq-
ualization, have been approved and
three remain out.
In assessing public service corpora-
tions this year the board adopted m ich
the same policy as observed last year,
making the assessment on the san.e
basis as the previous year, plus im-
provements. This pian has been fol-
lowed by the board for the last two or
three years and seems to appeal to
everyone as a fair policy.
The board will meet again on Aug.
29, and possibly be ready at that time
to make the next levy. It is the be-
lief of some members of the board
that a small levy will suffice for State
needs this year, and that possibly it
should not be more than 1 1-2 mills.

AUDITOR ORDERED TO
PAY CLERK’S SALARY
Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.—Writ of
mandamus to compel Frank Carter,
State Auditor, to pay a salary ciaun
of Norma Rathburn, clerk in the of-
fice of Fred Parkinson, State Examin-
er and Inspector, was granted tms
evening by District Juuge Cn-.m
Jones. The action grew out of tne
disapproval by Governor Robertson of
appropriations in the departmental
bill passed by the Legislature which
covered statutory positions in the de-
partments.
The effect of the court’s ruling is
that the Governor has no power to
disapprove appropriations maue by
the Legislature alter that body h-s
adjourned sine die. This is the posi-
tion taken by attorneys who argued
jiefore the court.
It was stated by those representing
the Governor’s side of the controversy
that an appeal from the lower court's
'ruling would be taken to the Supreme
Court. Positions in the office of
Frank Carter, State Auditor, and in
the office of Ed Boyle, Chief Mine
Inspector, also are affected.
THE WOODROW WILSON
FOUNDATION
I 1
The purposes of the Woodrow Wil-
son Foundation, recently organized as
a tribute to the former President,

the National Foundation CommUi.ee,
together with the terms of awarus, as
follows:
“Created by public subscription in
recognition of the national and inter-
national services of Woodrow Wilson,
twice President cf the United States,
who furthered the cause of human
freedom and was instrumental in
pointing out effective methous for the
co-operation of the liberal forces of
mankind throughout the world.
“The award or awards from the
income of the foundation will be ma-e
from time to time by a nationally con-
stituted committee to the individual
lor group that has rendered, within a
I specified period, meritorious service
1 to democracy, public welfare, liberal
thought or peace through justice.”
The Woodrow Wilson Foundation is
'■non-partisan; in fact, a non-political
organization, and will endeavor to
raise *1,000,000 upon wtiich to base
awards. The appeal for funds is to be
made to all admirers of the former
President, Democrats, Republicans
and independents.
